HIS ALMES by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE, HERE I LIVE
Last Line: THE SCRIP HATH SOME.
Subject(s): CHARITY; PHILANTHROPY;
Here, here I live,
And somewhat give,
Of what I have,
To those, who crave.
Little or much,
My Almnes is such:
But if my deal
Of Oyl and Meal
Shall fuller grow,
More Ile bestow:
Mean time be it
E'en but a bit,
Or else a crum,
The scrip hath some.
